Knife in the Back. Thanks.

Oh, where has it gone? The passion, the fury, the caring. Today I know for a fact without a doubt that all passion and caring has died in this nation's government. There is nothing left, but a gray bleak world of somber suits and meaningless papers. The loss of true signs of life is saddening in a way and due to the manner of its happening, angering. I feel betrayed for today, or yesterday more exactly, this nation's Congress abandoned its people. They made one promise to the people of America,and to the people of Iraq and the world beyond and now that promise lies shattered on the floor like the world's unluckiest mirror. The US Congress, currently with a Democrat majority, gave in to what is perhaps the most controlling and ridiculous President this nation has ever suffered. Congress should be impeaching him, snatching back our civil liberties and tearing apart his administrations horrendous mistakes, but instead they sit down and put their hands in their pockets and whistle a little tune for comfort and allow the President to make outrageous demands, lacking in compromise and intelligence, and control every aspect of the government. Is it not enough that the man has taken away our freedoms, Congress? Did you rally have to reward him for his bad behavior? Now that stubborn ignorant child will never learn his lesson.

Today's betrayal should not only sadden the liberals in America, but virtually anyone who gives a damn about the direction this nation is headed, or likes holding on to some individual liberties, or has a brain. Some will say the money is needed, justified even. I have but one question for those people, When was the last time your boss gave you more money for failure? If it was recntly please let me know and I will never again speak negatively of our President, your President I mean. I want to cry, I want to shout from the rooftops, "Why can't a group of men and women responisble for the direction and fate of an entire nation stand up to a single man? Why do they roll on their backs like dogs beaten by a drunken master? Has this nation lost its teeth?" I think so. When is the last time you heard of a political riot that had to be suppressed. When was the last time they even had to use tear-gas on protesters? Not recently enough, I am afraid. A government that represents the people should be constantly challenged by the people, otherwise how will they ever feel the fear of the people and not a single man. No one listens to everything their parents say without challenging the things we do not agree with, even when we lose the fight we cannot then say we did not try. I am begging you people, for fuck's sake take action don't let the bastards knife you in the back again.
